civicdoes r follow public affairs?
Text of this Question or Item
284. Some people seem to follow what's going on in government 
and public affairs most of the time, whether there's an election 
going on or not. Others aren't that interested. Would you say 
you follow what's going on in government and public affairs most 
of the time, some of the time, only now and then, or hardly at 
all?
